SM 101MANAGED LANES PROJECT
MEETING NOTICE
PLEASE ATTEND. YOUR INPUT AND COMMENTS ARE IMPORTANT TO US.
Caltrans will hold two public information meetings to present a proposed Managed Lanes Project on U.S. 101 in Northern Santa Clara and San Mateo County.
The project sponsorship is a multi-jurisdictional partnership of the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), as owner and operator of U.S. 101, San Mateo County Transportation Authority (SMCTA), and City/County Association of Governments of San Mateo County (C/CAG).
Given the importance of the U.S. 101 Corridor from San Francisco County through San Mateo County and into Santa Clara County (SM101), finding a solution to the growing congestion and associated delay has become a high priority. The purpose of the proposed project is to provide a continuous managed lane in each direction on U.S. 101 from the terminus of the Santa Clara County Express Lanes to I-380 in San Mateo County. This continuous lane would be managed in real time to achieve maximum efficiency and operations toward the following goals:

With these goals in mind, Project Sponsors are considering a range of alternatives that include a combination of converting existing High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes to Express Lanes, and the addition of new HOV or Express Lanes on SM 101 between Whipple Road to the I-380 interchange in San Mateo County. The project scope may include removing or replacing existing auxiliary lanes between interchanges; reconstructing ramp connections to SM 101; and installing electronic toll collection infrastructure.
